XHDATA D-608WB to listen to the radios in FM, MW and SW

 https://xhdata.com.cn/products/xhdata-d-608-emergency-radio


In France the price of this new radio receiver is only 43 Euros include shipping. 

Its not a normal radio to listen FM, medium wave and shortwave. 

If you are in the USA you can receive the NOAA Weather warnings.

 D-608 can receive NOAA weather warnings automatically with alarm alerts. 

 50 states, adjacent coastal waters, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the U.S. Pacific Territories.

  • NOAA Weather: CH 1 162.400MHz, CH 2 162.425, CH 3 162.450, CH 4 162.475, CH 5 162.500, CH 6 162.525, CH 7 162.550

The name, NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards, represents radio receivers that are capable of receiving weather and/or warning information from NWS Forecast Offices, approved Department of Homeland Security offices responsible for the dissemination of warning information, and those Emergency Operation Centers that have been specifically authorized to disseminate warnings on the NWR operational frequencies. To be called a NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards receiver, the device must possess specific receiver requirements contained in CTA-2009-B. 



It's a nice radio to bring with you because there is an alarm and a flashlight !

I think this alarm can help women or fragile people who feel insecure, the flashlight can also help everyone.

The noise of the alarm is very strong, and the flashlight is also powerful.




XHDATA D-608WB supports Bluetooth and TF card to play MP3 and other audio formats

  • Audio playback format: MP3/WMA/WAV/FLAC

  • Bluetooth transmission distance: 10 meters

This incredible little radio can be used as a power bank to charge mobile phones in emergencies with its 5V USB output.

No many radio receivers can help you to charge your mobile phone.

I was the lucky winner of a XHDATA D-608WB on a Facebook game !

Sorry i cant make video but my friend DX explorer make a useful video about this nice receiver



I have try to listen FM, MW and SW, the sound was good, i can receive many FM radio because my home is near Paris France. During the night the MW radios are possible to listen with the small antenna inside the receiver. For SW i have listen few days or nights. Its a good receiver to bring with you for camping, travels. When you are far from your home, on shortwave you can listen many stations in different languages. To have a better signal, put some wire (2 meters long) to your Telescopic antenna and your reception will be better on SW. 

So don't hesitate, this XHDATA  D-608WB is a good radio and not only to listen stations.
Price is not expensive and the look is modern.

  • FM 87-108 / 64-87

And the BEST-SELLER the famous XHDATA D-219



  • FM1: 87-108 MHZ
  • FM2: 64-87MHZ
  • AM :  520 – 1710 kHz (10K Steps) / 522 – 1620 (9K Steps)
    • SW 1-9 : 4.75-22 MHz



Incredible budget receiver


To sum up the D-219 then, it’s a good little radio that gives good results for a pocket-money price, and I can see why the SWL community are rather excited about it. It will never equal a high-end general coverage receiver with a well-implemented antenna array and even the Silicon Labs SDR chip is not new, but for the price of a couple of pints of beer it’s a no-brainer and a diamond in the rough.
